Additive Manufacturing Lab Testing and Analysis Services
Tests & Methodologies
Setup
Keypoint Intelligence’s lab technicians evaluate the ease of setup, configuration of the device, and make recommendations to optimize performance or quality.
User Experience
The “user experience” provides a detailed assessment of the complete device ecosystem including ease of use of the device, job submission, software and post processing equipment.
Software
With software, we evaluate the slicer and its processing times, device monitoring and management, as well as the different file formats that can be used.
Feature Details and Accuracy
Keypoint Intelligence evaluates several different test targets by putting the device through its paces for different additive manufacturing situations. We utilize in-house measurement equipment to analyze and evaluation device output’s quality in various speed scenarios.
Tensile Strength
Keypoint Intelligence can measure through various methodologies, the strength of the object in different scenarios based on industry requirements.
Repeatability
Similarly, our lab technicians look at a myriad of test targets to ensure the manufacturing repeatability of the same target with consistent quality and speed.
Speed
With a myriad of test targets, Keypoint Intelligence also looks and measure the speed of different quality settings to provide users with real life speed expectations from the device.
Chemical Composition
Through our partnerships, we can provide a chemical analysis to ensure the outputs ability can be used in different industries.
